BT HH3 unable to contact SMTP Hotmail server, but ...

My HH3 has for the last two months been unable to access Hotmail SMTP server (which previously it happily connected to for months). I swapped it with my old BT Home hub (the earlier model) which works fine. I'm using the same computer (a MacBook Pro) running the same Mail application that I've always used. I've tried a factory reset on the HH3 which made no difference. Strangely, the HH3 will allow me to access the BT mail server (POP & SMTP). I've cross checked the configuration settings for the HH3 and my previous HHub, and I can't see any differences.   Any help gratefully accepted.

If you had changed the username & password while installing the router for the first time ... use that ... if not then use only admin as in the password .... if both are not working you have ot reset the router ...
After reset admin password should work ......

  • How can I stop the yellow browser bar from appearing? the one which says "unable to contact the login server"???

    this yellow bar appears constantly while I am using the internet. It says" LastPass was unable to contact the login server, etc., etc."
    It is very annoying, and causes my screen to jump about when it is being active.
    I am using windows 7 on a HP desktop.

    hello Larryrush, please contact lastpass's support about this issue - they can likely give you better advice and are the only people who can resolve server errors in their network.

  • HT204380 It seems that my iPhone4S is unable to contact the FaceTime server. I am using a WI-FI connection. What is wrong?

    It seems that my iPhone 4S is unable to contact the FaceTime server. I am using a WIFI connection. I cannot connect to others using FaceTime. What do I have to do?

    Hello carrwf,
    It sounds like you unable to connect your Apple TV to the iTunes Store. I would use this troubleshooting from the following article to help you resolve the issue named:
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
    If you discover that you aren't connected to a network, the signal strength is low, or some of these settings are incorrect or blank, try the following steps:
    Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
    Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
    Choose Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
    Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
    If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
    Restart your Apple TV by choosing Settings > General > Restart.
    Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
    If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by choosing Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.
    Disconnect and rejoin your Wi-Fi network by selecting your network on the Apple TV and then choosing Forget Network. Rejoin your Wi-Fi network after it disconnects.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • FaceTime error unable to contact the FaceTime server

    I keep getting error on FaceTime. Unable to contact the FaceTime server?.

    Hi,
    I can confirm that yesterday I could not send pic in iMessages with Message beta or from my iPhone.
    Today I can.
    As Message beta (and in fact iChat 6) and FaceTime both use an App called IMAgent on the Mac to help with logins it is likely that the  same servers are involved at the Apple end.
    IMAgent also "Listens" when the computer is On but the apps are not launched for Off Line Calls.
    (iChat and iChatAgent has always done this for Off Line IMs from AIM Buddies and now IMAgent does it for Jabber and AIM in iChat or Messages and FaceTime)
    It seems the servers are back on line.

  • Unable to contact the facetime server

    Hi, i can't use facetime anymore.
    I tried with all my Id and emails and also updated to IOS7 is the server down?
    What else can i try.
    Tks

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

  • Itunes error when restore unable to contact the apple server at this time try again later, how do i get around this??

    restored through itunes as i bought it and coud not activate it. when restored searching....no sim... have rang up hpone if not blocked or anything and is on o2 can someone help me please?

    If the phone was hacked to unlock it, it will not be able to activate until and unless the original carrier authorizes unlocking it. Since the UK carriers will not authorize an unlock for a phone that is not actively in use on their network, and you will not be able to activate it on any network until after it is unlocked, you will most likely not be able to activate and use it at all. It's a catch-22.
    Return it to whereever you bought it and get a refund. Then buy a phone from a legitimate source.

  • Unable to contact Directory Server

    Following error is noted during the installation of SRAG:
    Unable to contact AM directory Server.
    SRAG is available on DMZ zone.
    Rewrite and SPS is installed on a separate machine in SSN zone.
    DS and AM installed on a separate machine in DC zone.
    10161,10162 and 10163 ports are enabled between AM and SRAG machine through a firewall.
    443 port enabled between SPS and SRAG machine.
    10443 port is enabled between SRAG and rewrite machine.
    When we have SPS/AM/rewrite together, everything works fine.
    Customer has requirement to separate each component on different machine. Can you please help me to resolve this issue.
    We have a loacal DS to keep SRAG metadate. So during installation, we specify local DS as SRAG DS. Also, installation expects AM DS as a input. So we have provided AM DS hostname as part of AM information.
    Regards,
    Johnson

    As far as I understand your story, the SPS should be able to talk to the DS. This means that you have to open port 389 in the firewall between SSN and DC zone. This is also mentioned in the documentation.

  • Outlook 2011 does not contact my kpn server after upgrading to mavericks

    Outlook is unable to contact my kpn server (mail) after i started using maverisck.
    Anyone else having the same problem and knows a solution for it?

    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
    delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

  • HT1694 Unable to contact Hotmail server

    My Hotmail started saying UNABLE TO CONTACT SERVER yesterday.  I am able to connect via the browser.  I deleted the account and tried to re add it as Exchange as well as Hotmail.  Verification passes but cannot connect or see calendar.

    I am having the same problem, only I am trying to update from 4.0.1 to 4.1
    It downloads fine, until the extracting of the file. That is where everything goes wrong. It can contact the server from Apple, but says it can not anymore when extracting the software. I cannot download the file solely and update the phone later. I really am expecting Apple to fix this as soon as possible. I paid over 600 euros for an official phone from Apple instead of conning them and buying a jailbreaked-one and now it does not work at all.

  • Unable to open external list : Error : Unable to render the data. If the problem persists, contact your web server administrator.

    Hi,
    Please note we are using SQL Server 2008 for sharepoint. Does it matter for this issue?
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open external list.
    Please change the External Content’s connection properties’ Authentication Mode to BDC identity.
    Then launch the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell and run the PowerShell commands to remove the error.
